Paragraph 0011; 0036-0039, (2022/03/17)
The invention discloses a synthesis method of gamma-or delta-substituted alkyl chiral lactone, the synthesis method comprises the following steps: mixing nickel salt, a chiral bidentate organic phosphorus ligand, aliphatic gamma-or delta-ketonic acid and a solvent, and carrying out asymmetric reduction reaction under the action of a reducing agent to obtain the gamma-or delta-substituted alkyl chiral lactone. According to the invention, asymmetric hydrogenation of aliphatic gamma-and delta-ketonic acids is realized through a cheap, green and efficient homogeneous chiral nickel-phosphorus complex catalytic system, and gamma-or delta-substituted alkyl chiral lactone is obtained with excellent yield and high enantioselectivity.

Although the transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of aromatic ketones has been extensively explored, the enantioselective hydrogenation of aliphatic ketones remains a challenge because chiral catalysts cannot readily discriminate between the re and si faces of these ketones. Herein, we report a carboxyl-directing strategy for the asymmetric hydrogenation of aliphatic ?-ketoacids. With catalysis by iridium complexes bearing chiral spiro phosphino-oxazoline ligands, hydrogenation of aliphatic ?-ketoacids afforded chiral ?-hydroxylacids with high enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). Mechanistic studies revealed that the carboxyl group of the substrate directs hydrogen transfer and ensures high enantioselectivity. Density functional theory calculations suggested the occurrence of chiral induction involving a hydrogen-hydrogen interaction between a hydride on the iridium atom and the substituent on the oxazoline ring of the ligand, and on the basis of the calculations, we proposed a catalytic cycle involving only Ir(III), which differs from the Ir(III)/Ir(V) catalytic cycle that operates in the hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids.

Streptorubin B is a structurally remarkable mem-ber of the prodiginine group of antibiotics produced by several actinobacteria, including the model organism Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). Transannular strain within the pyrrolophane structure of this molecule causes restricted rotation that gives rise to the possibility of (diastereomeric) atropisomers. Neither the relative nor the absolute stereochemistry of streptorubin B is known. NOESY NMR experiments were used to define the relative stereochemistry of the major atropisomer of streptorubin BHCl in solution as anti. We exploited this finding together with our knowledge of streptorubin B biosynthesis in S. coelicolor to determine the absolute stereochemistry of the anti atropisomer. 2-Undecylpyrrole stereoselectively labeled with deuterium at C-4′ was synthesized and fed to a mutant of S. coelicolor, which was unable to produce streptorubin B because it was blocked in 2-undecylpyrrole biosynthesis, and in which the genes responsible for the last two steps of streptorubin B biosynthesis were overexpressed. 1H and 2H NMR analysis of the stereoselectively deuterium-labeled streptorubin BHCl produced by this mutasynthesis strategy allowed us to assign the absolute stereochemistry of the major (anti) atropisomer as 7′S. HPLC analyses of streptorubin B isolated from S. coelicolor on a homochiral stationary phase and comparisons with streptorubin B derived from an enantioselective synthesis showed that the natural product consists of an approximately 88:7:5 mixture of the (7′S, anti), (7′S, syn), and (7′R, anti) stereoisomers.
